Blessed are the poor in spirit...

Big hoo-haa about a forthcoming Songs of Praise programme coming from the church the migrants have set up in Calais.  Obviously this is a hot potato and can (and will) be seen by many as left-wing pro-migrant propaganda.  But take a step back - this is an overtly Christian programme - pretty well all that is left these days of what used to be the "God hour" on TV between 6 and 7 on a Sunday evening.  Now regular readers of this blog will know I have little time for organised religion, but there are plenty who have, and surely reaching out to these people (who, whatever you think about them, are struggling) is exactly what Christians should be doing?  This isn't propaganda - whether you agree with it or not, this is Christianity in action.
